Dont run plexiglass in the cold. It tends to be extremely brittle.

its extremely brittle anywhere.... Do i need to remind you of the Warhead's transmission mount?



Just the other day at robotics, we couldnt tell if somethings was plexglass or lexan, so one of our engineers goes "thats lexan" and tries to flex it-SNAP! "i guess not"





Trev-if you were to make an ibeam style chassis with 2 side plates that stick up and hang down- you can run a battery on each side for your 12c setup

Plexiglass isnt to bad "if your not dropping the warhead from the ceiling".

Plexiglass? I thought he used Lexan? Two completely different plastics... The only thing they share is their transparent nature . For instance, Lexan will absorb impacts (such as from bullets) whereas plexiglass shatters.
